Uhm and where did you get that from???
I've got plenty more...I know there's a more widely accepted definition of planking which seems harmless but there's plenty of people who have always known the true meaning of it...Hell I even have Mikesimswalker on my twitter and he happend to tweet the real meaning too, even though I already knew it...Walking the plank usually refers to pirates but thats just America covering up info like usual...the slaves used to have to walk the plank for simply disagreeing with ANYTHING...slaves were attached to PLANK beds and forced to lie side by side with their arms down just like Howard is doing...

[url]http://reflectionsgarden.webs.com/collars.htm[/url] defines a "Plank Collar"...and no obviously the australians had no knowledge of this either before making it their latest "fad". Not trying to be too preachy..just spreading knowledge...
The African slaves were brought to the Western Hemisphere for many different ... represented those of the slaves while they walked up the gang plank. ...

Seems like pure speculation form someone who knows nothing about the fad. As you said there is no widely accepted definition, I barely heard of it now and started googling.

yeah except people all over twitter as soon as Howard started doing it, started tweeting him to stop and telling him why so just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean plenty of people havent...Either you're not into doing a ton of research or whatever...you think this would be something casually just talked about in AMERICA? Also..I guess if its not on google, it didnt happen..A person could pick up a book every now and then..But hey, this is ish...how could I be so stupid to post some knowledge on this board...lol @ me...Carry on...I'm out..I tried...Peace..
Whatever, call me when someone planks naked.

DOES THIS BUSINESS HAVE NO SHAME? Does he not REALISE the CONNOTATIONS associated with the term "PLANKING?"
What has the world come to if they don't realise that words are powerful man!!

Yes I am sure it is easy to find books on this fad...
All you have is speculation so no point in criticizing him.
[QUOTE=Horatio33]He should post photos of himself 'planking' in the first round.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=AI3Anthony]whats so funny about planking? i really dont get it[/QUOTE]
I don't understand either...American are getting dumb and dumber for real.
[QUOTE=L.Kizzle]Whatever, call me when someone planks naked.[/QUOTE]
so are you telling me.....you're willing to see a man planks naked?....
you should have said, "call me when a female plans naked".
[QUOTE=Gundress]I don't understand either...American are getting dumb and dumber for real.[/QUOTE]
Except we did not start this crap. This was the first time many of us even heard of this, try reading through the thread first before posting.

Yes, at least it's goin outside the box. Everyone "planks" wif clothes on.
Guys, guys...I was not insinuating that the planking was funny. I found the fact that it was Dwight Howard planking funny. He's rich, he's famous, he's talented, he's a giant, and he's spending the day going all over town participating in a ridiculous fad. People here are crabby today.

How are we supposed to move on if we hold on to our past so strongly?
Slaves also "picked" cotton. Will you never pick again?
Slaves also were "auctioned". Will you never particapate in one?
Slaves also were brought over on ships. Will never get on a ship?
Slaves also were forced to do labor. Will you never do labor again?
Get the point. Of course in the context it was used during slavery was horrible, but now its something fun to do. Dont be so uptight....
when was the last time someone streaked?
i wanna see some streaking on live television
I'm waiting for planking to start popping up in porn. A guy is on top f*cking a girl when all of a sudden he planks on top of her while she struggles momentarily under his body weight.

This might be the dumbest post in the history of ISH. That link is worst piece of supporting evidence I have ever seen.
I suspect the poster was having a joke and wanted us to check out that page for other reasons.

Also the fact that the page he points to is not about African slavery.
